Dear openHAB community,
I would like to change the default ports of openHAB. Unfortunately I don’t find the right place to do so. I downloaded the latest stable version from the website as a zip, unzipped it according to the installation guid for linux. Now the openhab2 folder is created in the “/opt/” directory.
I tried to follow this thread - in particular the post of Ben Clark - Changing port number on openHAB 2.0, but I can’t find the mentioned file: " /etc/default/openhab2". I looked through all sub directories of the openhab2-directory as well as the directory “/etc/”, but I can’t find the mentioned file.
Do I have to create this file manually or did I miss to run some sort of installation script?
Thank you a lot in advance!
Platform information:
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B+/ 1GB RAM/ 16GB SD Card
OS: Linux version 4.9.35-v7+
Java Runtime Environment: JVM 25.65-b01; Version 1.8.0_65
openHAB version: openhab-2.5.4
Issue of the topic: I can’t find the file “/etc/default/openhab2” to set the variables OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT and OPENHAB_HTTPS_PORT
Please post configurations (if applicable): nothing yet configured
That should search through all the files in the /etc directory and below looking for that string. I just tried and it finds it in /etc/default/openhab2 so I don’t know why it’s not where it should be on you setup
I tried this command on my Linux machine, but it only showed me some script lines from the files “/opt/openhab2/runtime/bin/setenv” and “/opt/openhab2/runtime/bin/setenv.bat” and no files which include the OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT settings.
Therefor I will uninstall all openhab2 files and try the solution pointed out by @gitMiguel
I tried to install with apt-get, but it only produced error messages. After that I formatted the whole SD-Card and tried the solution @gitMiguel pointed out - using openHABian. Luckily that worked out very well!
